The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced its project to bring mobile phone freedom to users. “Librephone” is an initiative to reverse-engineer obstacles preventing mobile phone freedom until its goal is achieved.
Librephone is a new initiative by the FSF with the goal of bringing full freedom to the mobile computing environment. The vast majority of software users around the world use a mobile phone as their primary computing device. After forty years of advocacy for computing freedom, the FSF will now work to bring the right to study, change, share, and modify the programs users depend on in their daily lives to mobile phones.
Let’s see where this leads. They have not managed so far to get GNU/Hurd production ready in the 35 years it’s been in development.
HURD is not in development by FSF. It’s a side project by professor Samuel Thibault in his spare time.
Wiki at least says: “It has been under development since 1990 by the GNU Project of the Free Software Foundation”.
So someone should fix the wiki.
